Re: I Books

[Joshua Hendrickson]

I'd use voice dream reader to read ebooks and audio books.  That is
just my opinion.

Hi Paul,

If you're in a book, press the Library button in the upper left corner. Choose

Re: I Books- Basic Questions

Christopher, 



Thanks for reminding us of the speak screen feature. I have that enabled on my 
iPhone but didn't mention it because I'm not really a fan of using that for any 
lengthy book reading. I get different volume levels with it and prefer to read 
with an app that doesn't feel like a workaround. It does provide another option 
which I'm happy to have but I don't seen to use it very often.

Re: I Books- Basic Questions

[Mary Otten]

Any voice that is on your Apple device that works as a voiceover voice can be 
used with iBooks. That would include the nuance voices, and the Alex voice, 
which come with your device. I think you can also purchase voices for the Mac 
to be used with voiceover from a company called sepstrel. I'm dictating this 
message, so that is probably spelled wrong, but I don't know how to spell it. 
You can buy those voices, use them with voiceover, and thus with iBooks on the 
Mac. But on an iPhone or iPad, you cannot use, for example, voices that you 
purchased to go along with voice dream reader, as those voices do not work as 
voiceover voices. So the key is, if it works as a voice over voice, you can use 
it. If not, you cannot use it.

RE: I Books- Basic Questions

[Edmonds, Lucy (LARA)]

Hello. I have another question about an iBook. Last week, there was an iBook 
mentioned on this list called Mastering the Mac with Voiceover. I searched for 
this, and can’t find it. Does anybody know if it is still available?
Thanks.

Any voice that is on your Apple device that works as a voiceover voice can be 
used with iBooks. That would include the nuance voices, and the Alex voice, 
which come with your device. I think you can also purchase voices for the Mac 
to be used with voiceover from a company called sepstrel. I'm dictating this 
message, so that is probably spelled wrong, but I don't know how to spell it. 
You can buy those voices, use them with voiceover, and thus with iBooks on the 
Mac. But on an iPhone or iPad, you cannot use, for example, voices that you 
purchased to go along with voice dream reader, as those voices do not work as 
voiceover voices. So the key is, if it works as a voice over voice, you can use 
it. If not, you cannot use it.

Re: I Books- Basic Questions

[Michael Feir]

You don't purchase Voiceover voices on iOS devices. All the available
ones are free. However, you need to do a little work to get a
selection of them. First, you need to go to settings, general,
accessibility, voiceover and speech. In the speech section, you can
choose your default voice. You may also add additional languages to
the rotor. For English-speaking voices, there's UK English,
Audstralian, US, Irish, and South African. For many of these, you can
choose one voice from a few options. The US choices include Alex and
Samantha as well as the SIRI male and female voices. there are at
times compact or enhanced versions of these voices. Alex is by far the
largest voice clocking in at most of a gigabyte. Choose what works
best for you. I have the Alex, male US and female UK and Australian
voices on the language setting of my rotor. Hope that helps.

Thank you everyone for your assistance and especially to Michael for your 
clear detailed instructions.
I discovered that I was listening to the Samantha and now I am going to try 
the Alex voice.

RE: I Books- Basic Questions

[Alan Lemly]

Michelle,

 

I can't answer your questions since I use Voice Dream Reader for reading
most everything that isn't app specific such as BARD, Audible, etc. I will
say that unless something has changed, iBooks shuts down when your iDevice
goes into locked mode which is one of the reasons I don't use it.

I just started looking at the I Books app which I have never tried.  It
seems that you can read books either in audio format or by having Voiceover
read the text of a book, although each book may not offer both options.

 

My question is what voice or voices can be used to listen to the text of an
i Book?  Is it only the voice that comes with turning on Voiceover on your
Apple device?

If you can purchase other voices, where do you go to purchase these voices,
how are they downloaded and how to you select another voice rather than the
Voiceover voice which comes with the Apple devices?  Thanks for any
guidance.  Regards, Michelle Bernstein

Re: I Books- Basic Questions

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Michelle,

You can use VoiceOver to read your books in iBooks. Another option is to go to 
General/Settings/Accessibility and turn on Speak Screen. Then when you open an 
iBook, you can ask Siri to read the screen. The advantage is that the text can 
be spoken while the screen is locked. I haven't had much luck with this method 
recently, however. If you do use this approach, you can use the same area of 
settings to choose a voice. You have the same options as you do with VoiceOver.

Best,
Anna

Re: I Books- Basic Questions

[Christopher Chaltain]

You can get around this by using the speak screen feature. Here's a demo 
from Jonathan Mozen

I can't answer your questions since I use Voice Dream Reader for reading
most everything that isn't app specific such as BARD, Audible, etc. I
will say that unless something has changed, iBooks shuts down when your
iDevice goes into locked mode which is one of the reasons I don't use it.

I just started looking at the I Books app which I have never tried.  It
seems that you can read books either in audio format or by having
Voiceover read the text of a book, although each book may not offer both
options.

My question is what voice or voices can be used to listen to the text of
an i Book?  Is it only the voice that comes with turning on Voiceover on
your Apple device?

If you can purchase other voices, where do you go to purchase these
voices, how are they downloaded and how to you select another voice
rather than the Voiceover voice which comes with the Apple devices?
Thanks for any guidance.  Regards, Michelle Bernstein

Re: i books

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

Use the standard Read All gesture, flicking down with two fingers, to start 
reading, or tap the text on the first page you want to read and then flick up 
with two fingers to start reading at the top of the screen. Voiceover switches 
pages as needed to read continuously.

Best,
Anna

RE: I Books with Braille Display.

[Richard Turner]

Until he allows VoiceOver to interact with the text, braille won't work with
it.
It sounds like he is going to add good VoiceOver support in the next couple
releases that may then make it possible to use a braille display in Voice
Dream Reader.

Hello.

At last I have mastered how to read I books with Braille Display with speech
turned off. I actually like it and it's better than listening to an I book
with Voice Over. I hope that Dream Reader has Braille display support. Has
anyone used Dream Reader with Braille Display?
